UITSEC CSIRT Services

In today’s world, there are three types of organizations.

Organizations that have been breached

Organizations that don’t yet know they have been breached

Organizations that will be breached

The difference between these three types of organizations is about whether they can detect threats or breaches in a very short time and respond to them effectively or not. UITSEC CSIRT enables an effective functioning and management of organizations in terms of cyber security with its security professionals. UITSEC CSIRT offers the essential information to organizations in order that they can detect threats just in time. As well as detecting and solving problems, UITSEC CSIRT places special importance to incident response.
